The Jalopy Journal
Oooo! Love this thread. Mine after 7 long years.
Old enough to have lived it too. The "scene" in San Antonio was the old Austin Highway down to Broadway (at least the north side scene). Us...
To huge degree, the father of the hot rodding revival. What others just talked about, he, and his partners did. RIP
97 - I see no inconsistency in my previous posts about Magnum. I bought a product, I read about a failure, I asked the owner (whom my wife has...
I bought a chassis from Brookville with 5" Magnum axle - in 2009. I later read about the axle breakage issue and contacted Fred at Magnum...
Hot Rod air was started by a former Vintage Air employee. Their systems were always basically 1995 era Vintage Air systems - may be why they went...
First off, you're running an FE - nothing is cheap about building them. You want cheap, dump the FE and drop in a nice 5.0L and problem solved....
I bought an oval Model T type tank a few years back to use in my RPU. It is soldered on the ends and looks solid enough, the fill tub has very...
First, I loved the car the minute I saw it featured in Hop Up #12 (err, 2 from the new). Their story laid out the whole exchange for services deal...
Come on Dennis, the "sell through" hardly covered the distribution and print costs. You are correct that advertising is where the actual salaries...
Call Vintage Air. Ask for Mark in tech - they've been engineering this stuff for 40 years.
Knew him before the GG and with GG. Hell of a business man, amazing visionary, and a real friend to hundreds of "regular folks and celebrities"....
Wow, I had forgotten about this thread. I wonder how many guys like me are still working on their cars after all these years. "Life is what...
Still no photos except Blake's! Couldn't make it but assumed I could do the virtual by now.
My response is not directed at the OP, but I see posts on here all the time - guys asking where they can buy shocks, steering, brakes, etc as...
Repost from another thread... I just finished viewing and completely reading issue number two. Absolutely amazing from front to back. First, at...

Well boys, when the sh*t hits the fan, I'd rather have a bunch of American steel workers at my back than a bunch of MBA's anytime. Also, remember,...
Loss of a great friend, world of knowledge, pain in the ass, kind and big hearted man. There ain't no "someday" fellas. These are the old ol' days.
I can't believe I missed this thread til now. This is how you build a '32 roadster without building a belly button! Like someone above said, "list...
"The shop was picked over..." All of a man's treasures gone to the pickers. I'm sure the sale helped with Dick's expenses but FUCK! That's just a...
I had the great opportunity to visit a few days with Larry at a show. He was the real deal - total car guy. He told me some amazing stories from...
I know where you can get a great a/c with defrost feature. It's really not selling out. However, the wine thing (or is it a friend thing)...? BTW,...
One more thing... I found out the hard way that "used" engines are covered for only $75 salvage value maximum with shippers. I had a 2006 take-out...
Actually, the contract ended when they cashed your "paid in full" check. I ALWAYS wright "PAID IN FULL" on any check for services or used...
After attending 30+ SEMA shows, I can tell you there are hundreds of "average Joe - non automotive" guys cruizing around the show all day, every...
